“Implant Removal”

I too had a similiar situation and am now extremely happy after explant removal. I had my surgery to increase from 34 c to 36c...absolutely hated everything about them! Painful too big for my frame and felt psychologically damaged. It was the worst move I ever made! Not to mention out 10K!!! I was also having memory loss issues and could not sleep at night due to profuse sweating. I am thankful to GOD that I have my original and beautiful figure back...no damage done since I had the explant surgery within 3 wks from the first surgery. I highly recommend it, the sooner the better. Implants had taken over my entire life too. Also LOOK but don't TOUCH. I am back to normal and now on a homeopathis pill called "breast actives" and my breasts are growing larger with each passing week, without harm to the body. My boyfriend can't keep his hands off me. Good Luck to you. Pls. let me know your outcome!

I am pretty sure that if you work out- swim or lift weights. They will tighten up. I am planning on taking mine off.

I had breast implants 9 years ago at age 27. I regretted them at first too. I think you need to give it some time before removing them. Just my honest opinion. My implants went from freaky looking to awesome, but it took a good year. They look SO much better once they drop.

hi, i just had mine done on monday. today is friday. went from a 36a to a 36c i think, still hard to tell.saline, 250 filled to 270. cannot even look in the mirror, they feel and look so big and hard. i feel naseous all the time. wish i never did it. doctor told me to wait at least 4 weeks before thinking about removing. feel very distorted.

Did you end up having yours removed? :( I want to remove mine and it's only been a week...such an expensive mistake. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I just have the boobie blues...

Hi there - no, I haven't been back to my doctor yet. I go in February. I'm getting nervous because it's been almost 4 years but I've hated them the entire time. I've tried to convince myself otherwise, but deep down I know I don't like them being this large. I hope you are feeling better about yours since it has only been a few weeks. Keep in touch! Debbie

Hi, if you want to talk email me. Thanks (ps: I feel the same)

I had my implants taken out today and i can't explain how happy and free i feel!!! And the results are amazing!!! I expected to be left with 2 empty bags (although the surgeon tried to reassure me that i would be pleasantly surprised with the outcome) i was still skeptical, but am amazed at how well my skin has gone back! I had 280/295cc implants in for exactly 5 months and am 31 years old.

I have had 3 breast augmentations (to change cup sizes and later to replace the old saline implant with silicone which lasts longer), and none of them involved any pain. The worst part for me was the anxiety of going in for the surgery, and the pain from the IV needle going in. After the surgery I did feel a slight "tightness" for the first week only, but never any pain. I also took my pain pills every few hours as directed. If you are having a lot of discomfort maybe you are having a capsullar contracture, or minor infection or some other complication. I am not advocating implants, just saying that I don't think that they are inherently bad, but that from time to time, complications, allergies and reactions can occur in some people. (I happen to be mildly allergic to my silicone implants, but this is irrelevant to your question). Hope this helps.

HI, congratulations on ur explantation :) I am having my explantation 2 months after surgery too..i was originally a 10AA and had 260cc implants placed in. I a wondering what you were pre surgery? I am 25 years old and I'm hoping they will bounce back!

I've had my implants for 3 1/2 years. I went conservative and it's not noticable, unless you really know me. I'm in pain most of the time. My shoulder blades ache almost constantly, I have slight capsullar contraction in the left breast with a burning sensation. A pulling sensation. I have been thinking about explantation but am so afraid of the outcome. I'm afraid of looking like deflated socks! LOL I am just tired of being in pain and my eyes and face reflecting the pain. My doctor is discouraging it. I'm getting to the point where I'd rather have "socks" than pain.

*cant afford not can. lol

I know how you feel. I went from an 8AA-small C (against my wishes, wrong size was placed despite my PS apparently being one of the best)...I wore loose clothes that covered my chest up to my neck to try and hide them. I only had them for 2 months before I got them removed and I finally feel like myself again. The 2 months I had them for were the longest, most stressful and traumatizing time of my life. My breasts almost look the same as they did preoperatively - my partner doesn't notice any difference only I do! Make sure you really think it through before you go ahead with the explantation..even see a psychologist to discuss whether you are making the right decision as it is another surgical procedure with it's own risks. Making the decision to get BA was the biggest mistake of my life that I will have to live with but life does go on. Good luck, you are not alone :)

Your story sounds so familiar! I had surgery 3 years ago - wanted more fullness so I went from a C to a DD cup. My doctor didn't listen to me when I said I only wanted a "little" fullness. I went back because I hated the teardrop shape and wanted to go smaller so I spent another $3K and ended up with high profile but still a DD cup. I've now got $12K invested and still hate being so large since I'm also 5'5" and 127 lbs. I think about having them removed daily since they make me feel so heavy looking instead of sexy! I just don't want them to be saggy so I can't make my mind up. Please let me know what your doctor said! Thanks, Debbie

It was nice to read your post regarding how you felt after you had yours removed. I'm seriously thinking about doing the same. I've had mine in for almost 4 years. I went from a 34C to a 34DD and I'm so tired of feeling heavy. I went back once for a smaller size and my doctor changed the shape from the teardrop to a high profile but I wound up exactly the same size. I'm ready to just have them removed and forget about the $12K that I've spent. I just don't want to look saggy since they've been in so long. I wish I had kept them the way they were! You said yours looked "flat", are you still the size you were before you had the surgery? Thanks again for sharing your story.
